Hi, could there be a signedness error in fsck or the file system code in 5.4PRE (March 15) ? I got these interesting messages (wrapped/shortened) in my /var/log/messages upon a fsck after an unclean unmount: Mar 15 17:45:57 kernel: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a Mar 15 17:45:57 kernel: WARNING: / was not properly dismounted Mar 15 17:45:57 kernel: WARNING: /tmp was not properly dismounted Mar 15 17:45:57 kernel: WARNING: /usr was not properly dismounted Mar 15 17:45:57 kernel: WARNING: /var was not properly dismounted Mar 15 17:47:27 fsck: /dev/ad0s1e: Reclaimed: 0 directories, 0 files, 1 fragments Mar 15 17:47:27 fsck: /dev/ad0s1e: 115 files, 331 used, 126507 free (67 frags, 15805 blocks, 0.1% fragmentation) Mar 15 17:56:58 fsck: /dev/ad0s1f: INCORRECT BLOCK COUNT I=2967655 (6976 should be 6176) (CORRECTED) Mar 15 17:56:58 fsck: /dev/ad0s1f: Reclaimed: 0 directories, -14 files, -279 fragments Mar 15 17:56:58 fsck: /dev/ad0s1f: 545357 files, 6998024 used, 10981025 free (48521 frags, 1366563 blocks, 0.3% fragmentation) Mar 15 17:57:39 fsck: /dev/ad0s1d: Reclaimed: -2 directories, -39 files, -314 fragments Mar 15 17:57:39 fsck: /dev/ad0s1d: 6297 files, 166320 used, 340481 free (2105 frags, 42297 blocks, 0.4% fragmentation) This "negative" numbers also sometimes show up at shutdown after clean unmount of the file systems.
